The phenomenon by which a conversation is more interesting the quicker you pass by it.

The Nugget Effect

Surpassing a level of excruciating hunger wherein one becomes less hungry than originally anticipated.

The 300 chicken nugget challenge was on my mind all day. I refused to eat. Half an hour before go time, he decided to have a girl over and have some fun. I was livid. When we finally got to McDonalds an hour later I barely made it past 20 effectively making me the first to experience "The Nugget Effect".

Joseph effect

Joseph effect is when a person that works out and stops seeing progress. The only solution for this is to use Trenbalone acetate. Joseph is now a word for a non-natty physique.

His muscles and veins don't look natty, he might have caught the Joseph effect.

The Markle Effect

A castle built on sand. Corrupted by one persons touch. To be royally f*cked up. To rot from the inside.

She swanned in and acted as though she was Queen. We thought the extra publicty would be beneficial. In truth the whole thing turned to sh*t. They call it The Markle Effect. We are royally f*cked.

Chronicler Effect

When one adopts the persona of having a crush on someone not available to them (usually because they are fictional or along-dead historical figures) for the sake of a joke for so long that one develops a legitimate crush on them.

Named after a member of a history-themed discord server who acted as a chronicler of all the events occurring (this happens to be me lol).

Chronicler: I say Anna Komnene my beloved, but is it sad that I think I legitimately have a bit of a crush on her now?

Sokrates: Same, I think I might have actually got the Chronicler Effect. I 've got an actual crush on Belisarius as well!
